Ingredients and Preparation

IngredientsMeasures

Olive oil2 teaspoons

Small white onion, chopped1

Carrots, peeled and sliced2

Garlic clove, minced1

Dried thyme½ teaspoon

Chicken broth14 ounces (eg, a 14.5-ounce can)

Water14 ounces

Low-fat cream of celery soup1 10.75-ounce can

Chicken breast tenders, cut into 1” squares¾ pound

Low-fat milk1/3 cup

Egg1

All-purpose flour¾ cup

Baking powder1 ½ teaspoons

Cornmeal1 ½ teaspoons

Salt¼ teaspoon

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, garlic, and thyme, and sauté for 4-6 minutes, until onions are tender.

Add chicken broth, water, and cream of celery soup to vegetables and bring to a boil. Add chicken, stir, and boil for 10 minutes. Reduce to a simmer.

While soup is boiling, prepare dumpling batter by whisking milk and egg together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cornmeal, and salt. Add flour mixture to milk mixture and stir until moistened.

Drop half of batter, in tablespoons, into simmering soup. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, until dumplings are done (they will be puffy and will float on top of soup). Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside. Repeat with second half of batter. (Makes about 12 dumplings.)

Serve soup over dumplings in shallow bowls and sprinkle with pepper.
